I imagine that the big players will move to go headless and also look at occupying the area of squarespace and shoppify , hosting and providing an all in one fremium service. Probably with a long term aim of going platform agnostic.

Many of the page-builders have a slightly more “agency” focus than WP.org which seems more focused on the Medium and Tumblr user.

Most of my clients never edit their site at all, they ofter want brochureware sites which never get updated content. Some sites have been the same for 5 years and nobody ever logs in from the editor accounts. For these sort of clients a more Agency focussed hosted site provision would work adequately.

Developers will point at the speed issues, obviously, but there are other factors which make technical excellence a much smaller slice of the value pie than web devs expect. Often business logic is an oxymoron.
